MoCo pays more than $3.3 BILLION in state and local taxes but gets back less than $1 BILLION in state aid.

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]

Want more $ for achievement gap and smaller class sizes? Then align MCPS benefits with those of MoCo govt employees.

Was booed and heckled at last night's hearing on collective bargaining in MoCo. Check out https://t.co/JpeVn3YgMT

Our budget testimony said the same - MoCo's tax increase mainly covers compensation of county and school employees. https://t.co/9aFtvxH4K0

Awaiting Comptroller's release of rpt by Bureau of Revenue Estimates on MoCo's control of the liquor business and its revenue consequences.

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]

Why is @MCPS diverting close to 2/3 of state "compensatory education" funds to programs that are not related to "low-income" enrollment?

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]

Could we use this $52M to cover loss of revenue from @MoCoDLC and thus get out of the liquor business?

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]

@MCCivicFed says MoCo losing $52M annually in income tax offset credits illegally issued to rental property investors. What gives?

It was today in 1789 that Ben Franklin wrote: "...nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes",

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]

Montgomery Circuit Court throws out "rain tax"; MoCo Council promises to replace it with an excise tax. "A rose by any other name .."

True. The more a resident knows about the budget the less easy is it for special interests to influence the process. https://t.co/yhYURg1WAl

Because getting residents genuinely involved in the budget process doesn't have to be a headache. https://t.co/V2iK3DUXqh

Fortune 500 companies in VA =23; PA=21; MD=4 (Coventry Health, Host Hotels, Lockheed-Martin, Marriott Int'l). Wonder why?

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]

IRS data show that MD has lost 5,600 taxpayers taking w/them $1.63 billion in tax revenue. Could be many reasons. Does'nt sound good though.

[MC Taxpayers League @MCTaxpayers]
